The story
For long screws and structural fixings
The TID 18 is for carpenters, roofers and installers who drive long wood screws, lag bolts and self-tapping screws all day. The tangential impact mechanism puts 180 Nm into the fastener without twisting back on the wrist, and it handles screws up to 8 × 220 mm in softwood. Three speeds run to 3,200 rpm.
T-mode and compact build
The dedicated T-mode starts slowly and backs off when the screw breaks through, which stops self-drilling screws stripping in thin steel. The body is short and light at 0.9 kg bare, so it works well overhead and between joists. A tool-free 1/4" hex holder, LED light, bit storage and a belt clip for either side are built in.
Fits the 18V platform
It takes every Festool 18V pack, from the light Compact batteries to the Li-HighPower packs, and the Basic version comes without battery in a Systainer³ SYS3 M 187 that stacks with the rest of the kit or fits bott van racking.
